Abstract
A self-administered and self-scoring test kit and method for early self-screening of neurological disease, by detection of diminished olfactory function. The test kit is comprised of a plurality of pages; attached to each page (28) via adhesive is a microencapsulated strip (36) that, when scratched, releases a different, distinct odor. The test kit has instructions that provide for self-administration (33) and self-scoring (46) of the test, and identification of a threshold score (48) as a self-screening method for possible neurological disease and need to consult a physician.
Claims
1. An olfactory test for self-screening of a neurological disease, comprising: a booklet including a plurality of pages an odor-<K)ntaining source on one page of the plurality of pages, said odor- containing source containing a familiar odor;
a plurality of labels providing choices of possible identity of the odor-wntaining source;
an answer key on one page of the plurality of pages correctly identifying the odor-
containing source; and an instruction on one page of the plurality of pages for self-scoring the olfactory test from the answer key to determine a number of incorrect answers that indicate a positive result of the olfactory test.
2. The olfactory test of claim 1 , further including a first instruction to take further action regarding the neurological disease upon self-scoring the positive result of the olfactory test.
3. The olfactory test of claim 1 , wherein the instruction includes:
a first instruction to compare a selected label from the plurality of labels to the
answer key; a second instruction to indicate an incorrect answer; and a third instruction to ascertain the number of incorrect answers.
4. The olfactory test of claim 1 , further including a first instruction to take further action upon a negative result of the olfactory test yet experiencing symptoms of the neurological disease.
5. The olfactory test of claim 1 , wherein the answer key includes a correct answer for each odor-containing source such that incorrect answers can be indicated.
6. The olfactory test of claim 1 , further including an area to record the number of incorrect answers.
7. The olfactory test of claim 1 , further including a cover over the answer key.
8. The olfactory test of claim 1, wherein the plurality of labels selected for the odor- containing source are distinctly different from one another.
9. The olfactory test of claim 1 , wherein the odor-containing source has a unique distinguishing visual feature.
10. The olfactory test of claim 1 , wherem the neurological disease is Alzheimer's disease.
11. An olfactory test booklet, comprising:
a first page including an instruction for use of an olfactory test; a plurality of second pages each including an odor-containing source, said odor- containing source containing a familiar odor; a plurality of labels providing choices of possible identity for each odor- contairiing source; a third page includmg an answer key correctly identifying each odor-containing
source; and a fourth page including an instruction for self-scoring the olfactory test from the answer key to determine a number of incorrect answers that indicate a positive result of the olfactory test.
12. The olfactory test booklet of claim 11, further including: a first page including,
(a) a first instruction to compare a selected label from the plurality of labels to the answer key;
(b) a second instruction to indicate an incorrect answer; and
(c) a third instruction to ascertain the number of incorrect answers.
13. The olfactory test booklet of claim 11 , wherein the answer key includes a correct answer for each odor-containing source such that incorrect answers can be indicated.
14. The olfactory test booklet of claim 11, further including a first page with an area to
record the number of incorrect answers.
15. The olfactory test booklet of claim 11 , further including a cover over the answer key.
16. The olfactory test booklet of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of labels selected for the odor ontaining source are distinctly different from one another.
17. The olfactory test booklet of claim 11 , wherein four labels are selected for each odor-
containing source.
18. The olfactory test booklet of claim 11 , wherein the odor-containing source has a unique
distinguishing visual feature,
